     12. The device of  claim 11  wherein said cutting device functions as snips. 
   
   
     13. The device of  claim 11  wherein said cutting device functions as scissors. 
   
   
     14. A device having an adjustable handle and head, said device comprising:
 a pair of handles having opposing top and bottom ends, said top end of each of said handles having a U-shaped component; 
 a head comprising a first and second component, each of said components having opposing top and bottom ends, said top end of each of said components having at least one contact surface, said bottom end of each of said components comprising a protrusion designed to interact with said U-shaped component of said top end of each of said handles, said protrusion having a plurality of external grooves, said external grooves having a lateral surface situated along a length of each of said grooves, said first and second components being connected at a pivot point; and 
 a device for engaging said external grooves of said protrusion to thereby lock said head to a desired position, during a locked position, at least a portion of a length of said device contacts and engages at least a portion of said lateral surface of a first external groove, the position of said head is moved to a different angle by disengaging said device from said first external groove and allowing said device to engage a second external groove, said length of said groove is situated on a plane generally parallel to said length of said device during said locked position. 
 
   
   
     15. The device of  claim 14  wherein said protrusion comprises a central aperture and said device further comprises a pin for securing said head to said handle by insertion of said pin into said aperture of said protrusion. 
   
   
     16. The device of  claim 14  wherein said head is designed to rotate about an axis greater than 0 degrees and less than 360 degrees. 
   
   
     17. The device of  claim 14  wherein said contact surfaces function as clamping contact surfaces, said device functions as a clamping device.
